Hi,
I have a set of front struts that came on my MK3 2.0L Capri. The struts are the thick tube variety that take the RS / Capri 2.0L inserts. Recently I decided to change the wheel bearings. I ordered 2.0L capri / RS Escort bearings which arrived and did not fit either the Hub or the centre axle. I did some quick measurements and ordered a set of MK2 escort wheel bearings. Unfortunately this were not correct either. The outside wheel bearing was a perfect fit. THe inner wheel bearing was a perfect fit for the Hub but the axle diameter was 2mm too small.
I decided to be a bit more careful with my measurements and the following are the dimensions of the old bearings.
Outer/big bearing OD 50mm, ID 29mm, width 15mm. (Standard MK2 escort OD size MK2 Mexico ID Size)
Inner/small bearing OD 40mm, ID 17.5mm, width 14.5mm. (Standard MK2 Escort size)
Seal OD 55mm, ID 40mm (Standard MK2 Escort size)
Any idea what variety of struts these are.
In order to keep the project moving I have had to re-use the bigger wheel bearing but I would like to figure out what I have so that I can order some new bearings
Any help with this would be appreciated.
Regards
Tom
